Modular homes too have come a long way, but decent looking ones cost like Modscape cost considerably more than a standard build at $2800-5000 per sqm + GST! Way too much for what still looks like a prefab house. I want to build something like this:https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-glen+iris-129877806. Custom build. < 500k . <200sqm. Modscape pricing seems way to unrealistic. Lol, they should be costing less than standard project builds, not MORE. That startup I talked said they plan to price they finished houses at lower end of the current framed housing costs and in States the average house cost to build is twice less than in AU. If you build houses faster, they should be costing cheaper.

They just built the new classrooms at my son's school and they look good. The speed they went up was impressive, only a couple of weeks onsite. Yep, we've been hearing about the pre-built, modular and 3D printed revolution for years. No doubt it will come, but I think these things are pretty slow to come to market. I need a house pretty soon!

The pacific teak timber used to clad some projects is sourced from sustainable plantation forests, and our floors are comprised of engineered hardwood timbers on a floating base. All windows and glass doors are double-glazed as a standard, and our paints are all low VOC." Nah, I would always better go with standard brick veneer with that regard. Nah, I would prefer brick veneer and timber frames any day. 2.7 m max ceilings. No way to customise roof, tons of design limitations... And $4k per sqm. I really don't know how they still are able to find any clients for this.

Re: Custom Build Costs, Melbourne 20Apr 02, 2019 11:56 am Burny I think it starts to make sense for remote locations, or locations where the holding cost is high. Yep, but from what I see from their project list, instead, the majority of their houses are put into the high prestige suburbs such as Tamarama or Lane Cove in NSW. So they are certainly promoting it as an upmarket product.
